My best results thus far working with RIVE black and a corsair cooler 280 mm with modded fans and xeon E5-1680V2.

YOu finally achieved 70GB/s! Congratulations.

Stably yes, lol. I've achieved it before but with questionable stability and this is furthest I've pushed this CPU as well so thanks definitely my best overall overclock with this thing.

Very respectable OC. Personally would go with 4.2ghz and a lower voltage for a 24/7 OC, but still.

Thanks! Yeah this is me pushing to see what the limits are. For a long time I had it at 4.4-4.5 ghz but seems the RIVE black edition does indeed have longer legs than the regular RIVE which I used before to get best OC. Also using less voltage which is why I was able to push further though part of that was due to a bad power supply but definitely this motherboard is the beast of all beasts for X79. I was doing this also to see just how far the Bus could be pushed and got further than I had in past also. Aiming for a 4.7 ghz stable run not sure I will get there due to temps but may change to higher multiplier and see if that helps.
 
forgot to show the xeon with custom water loop. after out from hospital two days ago.

Looks lovely! I'm jealous my setup is such a mess right now it's like an open air case but messier lol. Anyway more importantly hope you're well and able to enjoy Christmas in good health hospital no place to be ever but not on holidays in particular! Also what is your OC and temps like with that setup? Wonder how much better it is than my AIO.
 
Sure i was in hospital over 2 weeks ago for my second cataract surgery it getting better by the day was suffering from imbalance vision after the first surgery was getting motion sickness it was awful for 3 months.
 
Just picked up a W3530 that came with a P6T Deluxe that the seller said wouldn't work in that board and it was only a socket protector..:rolleyes: Needless to say it works just fine. Just started messing with last night and so far 4.1ish on air booting Server 08 R2. Once I put it under SS I imagine I'll run out of BCLK before I hit the chips limit. I'll post my final overclock here.
 
Here the pcb board for hardware voltage monitoring i know it abit ugly not competed yet as i still have to add a vcore wire to check what it supplying through the cpu. It enables me to dial in voltages correctly as the bios is overvotage alot in the settings like the vdimm in bios is 2.02v where the back of the vdimm slot is showing 2.14v idle and 2.16v loaded it varies depends on prime 95 in blend mode i think

Asus 775 modded I believe
 
The board im using is asus p5q premium modded to run with xeon e5450 with pcb board attached to it is for voltage montioring as the asus board is known for overvoltaging that why i need to make sure at certain vdimm voltage is not too high for example if i selected 2.10v in the bios it will show top vdimm coils at 2.30v and vdimm slot will be around 2.23v to 2.26v depends on the load.
Nothing worse than senting the ram to an early death :)

My apologies well..but why not just crank it down in BIOS? I have that board and have yet too kill RAM and trust I'm good at killing parts. You should see my Athlon XP burnt underside collection.
 
Ouch poor cpu burnt to a crisp ha. I know what you mean it just i wanted to know what the board is doing with each voltage nothing worse if you blew a golden sample cpu lol.

Just had another read at this link about voltage points http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...3-asus-p5q-pro-p45-motherboard-review-14.html.

And i just made a rookie mistake that the ground point is the screw hole where i had the dmm black probe in the molex plug which resulted a higher voltage reading god i feel like an tool. Funny thing was it was higher than 0.48v in reading. This gonna be punishing for me to fine tune the voltages again "facepalmed"

Yea it just i like to learn more in the motherboard voltage department. As i dont mind messing with the voltages as long it dont blow up parts lol. I like modding custom ideas that works for me :)

Yes that's the board and I can take pics of the mods in progress but not here as i should not clutter up the Xeon thread.

I killed most of the XP's with modded Abit's and one DFI.
 
Im trying to think what are you trying to do with the mods on the motherboard?

Ah jeez i see where lt going moar voltage for vcore and vdimm for better overclock :)
 
Last edited:
Righto! Doing the vcore and vdimm first as I have XP's and crap DDR too kill but the thought of killing one the most underrated NF2 overclockers does not sit well.
